Cell phone users: read this

Post by SuicideGrl »

this was forwarded to me by my father. it's from the US Federal Trade Commission.
REMINDER....all cell phone numbers are being released to Telemarketing companies tomorrow and you will start to receive sales calls.

.....YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following number from your
cell phone:

888-382-1222.


It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a
minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call
from the cell phone number you want to have blocked. You
cannot call from a different phone number.


HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

It takes about 20 seconds.


or, you can go to https://www.donotcall.gov/ and register your number there. DEATH TO SALES CALLS!!

Was the email geniune? I visted https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx and theres no areas or links for cell phones. Any other articles on the net about this?

On that note, I've started recieving text message advertising for "stock tip offs"

If you still get calls while on the list, get the person\'s name, and the company name before you answer any questions, and when you\'re doing doing whatever they ask of you, tell them you\'re reporting them to the government for ignoring the \'do not call\' list. It\'s good for a few laughs.

It's already illegal for telemarketers to call cell phones. If they were going to break the law before, they'll still break it after. There's no harm necessarily, just a waste of time.
